LiLwannabRN, Do you happen to know the cost of tuition per semester or year? It doesn't have to be exact. Just so I have a general idea to do some planning and such. :) Thanks!

Congrats to you! :) I got accepted into the day program! !

I have an assignment that requires me to interview a student that is currently in a nursing program. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone personally that is in a nursing program. If a student could please fill this out I would greatly appreciate it. :] 1. What school do you attend and what semester of the nursing program are you now enrolled? 2. What are the best things about your nursing program? 3. What are the worse things about your nursing program? 4. How does nursing school affect your family? 5. Why did you select this nursing program? 6. Did you have previous health care employment or education before you entered your nursing program? 7. What do you find easy about nursing school? 8. What do you find the most difficult? 9. Would you say the nursing program is expensive? Are there hidden costs? 10. Do you work? How many hours per week? 11. Is there anything that you were not academically prepared for? 12. What would you recommend to an in-coming student to make them better prepared for the program? 13. What would you change about your program? 14. How do you compare the pre-nursing or pre-requisites to the actual nursing classes? 15. What part of the nursing program causes the most anxiety among you and your peers? 16. Do nursing students support each other? Do you find much competition? 17. So far, what clinical experiences in your program have you enjoyed the most? 18. Would you encourage your son/daughter/brother/sister/best friend to go into nursing? 19. Are you glad you picked nursing as a major? 20. Do you feel that your nursing school prepares you for the profession?

It does! Thank you so much! :)

I have a project that requires me to interview a nurse. I feel a bit guilty since I see a few other threads about nurse interviews and ones that are much shorter than this one. So I was hoping someone would please take the time to fill this out. I would greatly greatly appreciate it :) You can PM your response if you wish. How long have you been a nurse? From which kind of educational program did you graduate? LPN, ADN, Diploma, or BSN How long ago did you graduate? Have you returned to school for an advanced degree? What do you remember most about your nursing program? What was the best part of nursing school? What was the hardest part of nursing education? Did you have children to care for while you were in nursing school? Were you married? Have you ever left nursing to do something else? What do you remember about your "state board exams" or N-CLEX? What nursing jobs have you had since you have left school? In what specialty or nursing area do you work? Or did you work last (if no longer in nursing)? Approximately what is the salary for most nurses in your specialty area? What are the most satisfying things about your job? What shift have you worked the most? What are the advantaged and disadvantages for you in each shift? What are the things that make your job most difficult? Do most people in your workplace like their jobs/managers/peers? Why? If you could do it over, would you go into nursing again? Would you encourage your son/daughter to go into nursing? Would you have done anything differently in your education or nursing job choices? In a perfect world, what would you change about the profession of nursing?
